Hey everyone---Just joined yesterday and I am really enjoying everyone's stories of motivation. I just started the Seratonin Plus program. During the initial assessment, they do bloodwork, EKG, ect.
They called me with bloodwork results yesterday that showed a low thyroid production. I got a prescription for .75 mg levothyroxine.
Anyone who has been diagnosed with this---any words of wisdom you can give me? Is this medication helpful to you? Thanks in advance!

yes, and I'm on the same dose of synthroid. I doesn't know what the serotonin plus program is though....

I'm fine with meds. No issues losing weight, not cold anymore, no symptoms at all. As long as I'm on the right dose I'm fine.

I started out on 25 a few years ago, so when I felt my symptoms returning I knew I needed a higher dose. I have an amazing doc that treats symptoms not labs. While under 2.5 is good, I notice I don't get symptom relief unless my tsh is around 0.8 to maybe 1.3 ish, anytime I've felt bad my labs are in the higher range of normal. So my doc just says I obviously need to be in the lower normal range to feel well.

If you have a good doc that knows how to really manage it, you will be fine.

Thanks for the insight. I honestly thought that the symptoms such as: dry skin patches, menstral problems, body temp regulation, ect were something related to my age....so glad to find out that relief may be on its way~
